This video shows the construction method used by PrecastConcrete Homes. It demonstrates the efficiency of building with precast concrete panels and how a typical 4 bedroom home can be completed in 8 weeks. Compared to brick veneer this is up to 16 weeks faster meaning owners get into their homes faster and builders can complete more projects each year.
The concrete walls provides better thermal and acoustic insulation also while being extremely strong. They are extremely resistant to cyclones, floods, earthquakes and ground movements. They are a great choice for bushfire prone areas as they exceed the AustralianBushfireStandard (AS3959) for the highest “FlameZone” category.

In Portland cement concrete (and other hydraulic cement concretes), when the aggregate is mixed together with the dry cement and water, they form a fluid mass that is easily molded into shape. The cement reacts chemically with the water and other ingredients to form a hard matrix which binds all the materials together into a durable stone-like material that has many uses. Often, additives (such as pozzolans or superplasticizers) are included in the mixture to improve the physical properties of the wet mix or the finished material. Most concrete is poured with reinforcing materials (such as rebar) embedded to provide tensile strength, yielding reinforced concrete.

Modular Project Profile: USG Structural Panel Concrete Subfloor

When a major hotel chain asked ModularSteelSystems in Bloomsburg, PA, to build their latest project, the builders turned to USG Structural Panel Concrete Subfloor to get the job done faster and more efficiently, without sacrificing quality. These noncombustible panels are ideal for permanent modular construction, installing in three easy steps: lay, fasten and finish. USG Structural Panels do not require adhesives to install, nor do they require any pouring, setting or curing, as is the case with traditional poured concrete, increasing the speed at which modular units can be produced.

Gomos Modular Home

Portuguese architect Samuel Gonclaves has created a clever concrete modular housing system called the "Gomos System." It was launched late last year in Arouca, Portugal with funding from 18 local companies to help get the project off the ground. The system consists of a series of singular reinforced concrete modules (gomos) which are entirely prefabricated off-site (inside and out) and simply join together, providing a fully livable home in a matter of days.
Concrete foundations getting prepared The first module gets lifted in The first module is in place The Gomos home is almost complete on day 3

Portuguese architect Samuel Gonclaves has created a clever concrete modular housing system called the "Gomos System." It was launched late last year in Arouca, Portugal with funding from 18 local companies to help get the project off the ground. The system consists of a series of singular reinforced concrete modules (gomos) which are entirely prefabricated off-site (inside and out) and simply join together, providing a fully livable home in a matter of days.
Concrete foundations getting prepared The first module gets lifted in The first module is in place The Gomos home is almost complete on day 3
The Gomos System offers a flexible design platform, where each home can be as big or small as needed, depending on the number of modules chosen and the final configuration. It also allows for Gomos home owners to start off small and extend over time, with the addition of extra modules. The maximum size of an individual Gomos measures 2.35 meters wide by 5.90 meters deep ( 7.70 ft x 19.35 ft) and the modules can be adapted for different types of terrain or ground levels.
The process of creating a Gomos home is broken into four stages: factory production of the structure; interior and exterior finishings and features; transportation and fast assembly. Each module is transported by truck direct from the factory with all of the home's final features, including interior furnishings, flooring, insulation, windows, doors, water facilities, electricity and complete external facade. This allows for fast installation once on site, speeding up traditional construction times.
"This project differentiates itself by gathering cumulatively three crucial factors in the modular construction market," architect Samuel Gonçalves told Portuguese newspaper P3. "Including the construction of all components in the factory, which allows an in situ assembly in a few days and ensures secure installation which is carried out under highly controlled conditions; the modelling of optimized [modular] shapes and sizes that make their transport easier and effective; and plans drawn up based on the Gomos System which comply with all applicable legislation, particularly in terms of accessibility, licensing and even to serve as permanent housing."
Although the modular home is designed to include lots of natural light and air flow, there are no additional windows featured along two sides of the completed home, raising concerns for the possibility of darker rooms which end up being closed off internally. The Gomos home does however, feature two large glass feature walls at either end and a series of skylights have been positioned throughout the structure's roofing, ensuring that natural light does reach the internal sections.
According to P3, the Gomos modular homes are anticipated to start from €50,000 (about US $55,000) plus taxes for a base model. Prices will vary depending on a customer's choice of features and bespoke specifications. Buyers will also have the option of adding solar panels and a choice of external claddings, paints, floors, window frames and fixed furniture such as kitchens.

Precast Concrete Walls for Seismic-Resistant Design: From PRESSS Research to PreWEC webinar

"From PRESSS Research to PreWEC" is the eighth in the Research to PracticeWebinarSeries co-produced by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI).
The PREcast Seismic Structural System program (PRESSS), completed about a decade ago, introduced the use of unbonded post-tensioned walls for seismic-resistant design. Since that time, several research advancements have been made and codification of unbonded post-tensioned walls has been completed. To improve cost-effectiveness and resiliency, the PREcast wall with end columns (PreWEC) was subsequently introduced. Today, an investigation of PreWEC—focusing on understanding the influence of various damping components and interaction between rocking walls and surrounding bui...

ArchitectCaminoAlonso wanted to create a small, portable, prefab homes, but she didn't want it to feel like a shipping container. Camino, along with her husband and siblings (also architects at their firm Ábaton), created ÁPH80, a tiny home that ships like furniture, but has the style and usability of a smartphone.
Their Casa Transportable ("Transportable House") is manufactured in 6 weeks in a CNC factory in Northern Spain. Their largest model (9 by 3 meters) is still small enough to fit on the back of a truck. The height of 3.5 meters allows for a gabled roof to give it the feel of a real house, but it's just low enough to fit under bridges and tunnels while on the road.

The webinar will provide 1) a brief summary of the PRESSS wall system; 2) details of PreWEC and its performance; 3) analysis results that examined the interaction between a PreWEC system connected to floors and gravity columns; and 4) directions for implementing ongoing and completed research in design practice. In addition, an opportunity to provide input for the NEES Rocking wall project will be provided.
Webinar presenters are Sri Sritharan, WilsonEngineeringProfessor at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa and Suzanne Dow Nakaki, a licensed structural engineer in California and the Principal of Nakaki Structural DesignInc., Tustin, California. Both presenters were involved in the PRESSS program and the codification effort. Sritharan and Nakaki are, respectively, the principal investigator and consulting engineer for the ongoing NEES Rocking Wall Project.

ArchitectCaminoAlonso wanted to create a small, portable, prefab homes, but she didn't want it to feel like a shipping container. Camino, along with her husband and siblings (also architects at their firm Ábaton), created ÁPH80, a tiny home that ships like furniture, but has the style and usability of a smartphone.
Their Casa Transportable ("Transportable House") is manufactured in 6 weeks in a CNC factory in Northern Spain. Their largest model (9 by 3 meters) is still small enough to fit on the back of a truck. The height of 3.5 meters allows for a gabled roof to give it the feel of a real house, but it's just low enough to fit under bridges and tunnels while on the road.
Once the house arrives at the site, like a shipping container, it is craned into place in as little as 20 minutes. When Ábaton installed their prototype house on an empty plot in a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Madrid, they had dug a few small holes in preparation for the "foundation footings": in this case, recycled wood blocks leftover from other construction projects, but cement or a nice rock work as foundation as well.
Ábaton provides instructions and sketches so any crane operator can put the home in place. The home arrive fully plumbed and wired. Their prototype home is the "apartment" with kitchen/living room, bathroom (with full shower) and bedroom (bed included), but they offer other models for those looking interested in simply placing an extra bedroom in their backyard (they offer several combinations e.g. a bedroom/bathroom, 2 bedrooms, living room/kitchen, bedroom/living room).
CNC-milled grey cement-board panels lock together to provide not only a sleek exterior, but a ventilated facade. This layered exterior along with 10 centimeters of insulation means the home is thermally efficient - useful for off-grid purposes, but it also means that even without AC on a very hot day in Madrid, the inside of the space stayed cool.

Original story: http://faircompanies.com/videos/view/portable-homelivered-as-furniture-assembled-in-1-hour/

ArchitectCaminoAlonso wanted to create a small, portable, prefab homes, but she didn't want it to feel like a shipping container. Camino, along with her husband and siblings (also architects at their firm Ábaton), created ÁPH80, a tiny home that ships like furniture, but has the style and usability of a smartphone.
Their Casa Transportable ("Transportable House") is manufactured in 6 weeks in a CNC factory in Northern Spain. Their largest model (9 by 3 meters) is still small enough to fit on the back of a truck. The height of 3.5 meters allows for a gabled roof to give it the feel of a real house, but it's just low enough to fit under bridges and tunnels while on the road.
Once the house arrives at the site, like a shipping container, it is craned into place in as little as 20 minutes. When Ábaton installed their prototype house on an empty plot in a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Madrid, they had dug a few small holes in preparation for the "foundation footings": in this case, recycled wood blocks leftover from other construction projects, but cement or a nice rock work as foundation as well.
Ábaton provides instructions and sketches so any crane operator can put the home in place. The home arrive fully plumbed and wired. Their prototype home is the "apartment" with kitchen/living room, bathroom (with full shower) and bedroom (bed included), but they offer other models for those looking interested in simply placing an extra bedroom in their backyard (they offer several combinations e.g. a bedroom/bathroom, 2 bedrooms, living room/kitchen, bedroom/living room).
CNC-milled grey cement-board panels lock together to provide not only a sleek exterior, but a ventilated facade. This layered exterior along with 10 centimeters of insulation means the home is thermally efficient - useful for off-grid purposes, but it also means that even without AC on a very hot day in Madrid, the inside of the space stayed cool.

The music on this record represents five years of work in electroacoustic music in the areas of studio compositions and live electronics. The primary instruments used - Serge and Emu synthesizers - are of the analog modular generation. Since the foundation of these instruments is the interaction of voltage controlled modules, the resulting performance techniques encourage experimentation and improvisation. Whereas the virtue of digital instruments could be described as the ease with which programming, editing and repetition are accomplished; the virtues of the analog instruments are those of an open system: flexible, interactive, non-repeatable. This record may be heard as a celebration of the spontaneous and unpredictable nature of analog electronics.

Build a home in 8 weeks with Precast Concrete Homes.

http://www.precastconcretehomes.com.au
This video shows the construction method used by PrecastConcrete Homes. It demonstrates the efficiency of building with precast concrete panels and how a typical 4 bedroom home can be completed in 8 weeks. Compared to brick veneer this is up to 16 weeks faster meaning owners get into their homes faster and builders can complete more projects each year.
The concrete walls provides better thermal and acoustic insulation also while being extremely strong. They are extremely resistant to cyclones, floods, earthquakes and ground movements. They are a great choice for bushfire prone areas as they exceed the AustralianBushfireStandard (AS3959) for the highest “FlameZone” category.
http://precastconcretehomes.com.au/advantages/
Precast Concrete Homes panels can be adapted to any plan.

Modular Project Profile: USG Structural Panel Concrete Subfloor

When a major hotel chain asked ModularSteelSystems in Bloomsburg, PA, to build their latest project, the builders turned to USG Structural Panel Concrete Subfloor to get the job done faster and more efficiently, without sacrificing quality. These noncombustible panels are ideal for permanent modular construction, installing in three easy steps: lay, fasten and finish. USG Structural Panels do not require adhesives to install, nor do they require any pouring, setting or curing, as is the case with traditional poured concrete, increasing the speed at which modular units can be produced.

Gomos Modular Home

Portuguese architect Samuel Gonclaves has created a clever concrete modular housing system called the "Gomos System." It was launched late last year in Arouca, Portugal with funding from 18 local companies to help get the project off the ground. The system consists of a series of singular reinforced concrete modules (gomos) which are entirely prefabricated off-site (inside and out) and simply join together, providing a fully livable home in a matter of days.
Concrete foundations getting prepared The first module gets lifted in The first module is in place The Gomos home is almost complete on day 3
The Gomos System offers a flexible design platform, where each home can be as big or small as needed, depending on the number of modules chosen and the final configuration. It also allows for Gomos home owners to start off small and extend over time, with the addition of extra modules. The maximum size of an individual Gomos measures 2.35 meters wide by 5.90 meters deep ( 7.70 ft x 19.35 ft) and the modules can be adapted for different types of terrain or ground levels.
The process of creating a Gomos home is broken into four stages: factory production of the structure; interior and exterior finishings and features; transportation and fast assembly. Each module is transported by truck direct from the factory with all of the home's final features, including interior furnishings, flooring, insulation, windows, doors, water facilities, electricity and complete external facade. This allows for fast installation once on site, speeding up traditional construction times.
"This project differentiates itself by gathering cumulatively three crucial factors in the modular construction market," architect Samuel Gonçalves told Portuguese newspaper P3. "Including the construction of all components in the factory, which allows an in situ assembly in a few days and ensures secure installation which is carried out under highly controlled conditions; the modelling of optimized [modular] shapes and sizes that make their transport easier and effective; and plans drawn up based on the Gomos System which comply with all applicable legislation, particularly in terms of accessibility, licensing and even to serve as permanent housing."
Although the modular home is designed to include lots of natural light and air flow, there are no additional windows featured along two sides of the completed home, raising concerns for the possibility of darker rooms which end up being closed off internally. The Gomos home does however, feature two large glass feature walls at either end and a series of skylights have been positioned throughout the structure's roofing, ensuring that natural light does reach the internal sections.
According to P3, the Gomos modular homes are anticipated to start from €50,000 (about US $55,000) plus taxes for a base model. Prices will vary depending on a customer's choice of features and bespoke specifications. Buyers will also have the option of adding solar panels and a choice of external claddings, paints, floors, window frames and fixed furniture such as kitchens.

Precast Concrete Walls for Seismic-Resistant Design: From PRESSS Research to PreWEC webinar

"From PRESSS Research to PreWEC" is the eighth in the Research to PracticeWebinarSeries co-produced by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI).
The PREcast Seismic Structural System program (PRESSS), completed about a decade ago, introduced the use of unbonded post-tensioned walls for seismic-resistant design. Since that time, several research advancements have been made and codification of unbonded post-tensioned walls has been completed. To improve cost-effectiveness and resiliency, the PREcast wall with end columns (PreWEC) was subsequently introduced. Today, an investigation of PreWEC—focusing on understanding the influence of various damping components and interaction between rocking walls and surrounding building components—is being conducted in the NEES Rocking WallProject. The webinar will provide 1) a brief summary of the PRESSS wall system; 2) details of PreWEC and its performance; 3) analysis results that examined the interaction between a PreWEC system connected to floors and gravity columns; and 4) directions for implementing ongoing and completed research in design practice. In addition, an opportunity to provide input for the NEES Rocking wall project will be provided.
Webinar presenters are Sri Sritharan, WilsonEngineeringProfessor at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa and Suzanne Dow Nakaki, a licensed structural engineer in California and the Principal of Nakaki Structural DesignInc., Tustin, California. Both presenters were involved in the PRESSS program and the codification effort. Sritharan and Nakaki are, respectively, the principal investigator and consulting engineer for the ongoing NEES Rocking Wall Project.
